To protect you from surprise bills, you will have the option to set a monthly spending cap on your **`Pay-As-You-Go`** usage. Your service **will not** exceed this cap unless you change your settings on the billing page. This is a spending *limit*, not an amount you will be pre-charged. ## Bandwidth Based Pricing Currently, we don’t offer bandwidth based pricing. All our plans are based on the number of requests you make to the API each month. ## Buying Individual IPs Currently, we don’t have an option to purchase individual proxies from our pools. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
